I LOVE HER

Verols 20d
Wish-fulfilment levels are rising:D but I enjoyed it a fair bit, i love that mc is not whining and whimpering constantly and the main girl kinda fun, that teacher is trash tho:D
- ShiroJL 20d
  I always don't get these complaints about wish fulfillment, yes about 50-80% of fiction will have some level of wish fulfillment in it, because that's literally what fiction is for, you can do and show thinks that would never, or almost never happen in real life. How boring would fiction be if it just simply mirrored reality, we watch/read this shit to escape reality and not be thrown back into it lol
  
  Anyway, the teacher? Heck yeah, when she was put off by MCs answer I just went "Oh, come on, don't be like that!"

  My biggest complaint is that they made Maehara much more socially awkward and a much bigger loser than he is in the novel.
  Keetaby 12d
  It's been a while since I read the manga, but he's quite anti-social in it, and is depicted as a low-key loser in the beginning, but starts growing very quickly iirc. Is it not the same in the novel?
  By the way, how would you say the prose is in it? Is it worth reading?
0Zahra 20d
watched bcoz title was funny. hopefully mc isnt generic
- mpxpx 20d
  so far its good i dont think hes really like the generic romance mc or the average "loner" mc either
Maff 20d
Liked it. My big issue is really just how it looks; I'd say the character designs look off at time for me and I'm not a fan of like how the characters look bright or the lighting on them looks(What I'm referring to is there looks like a glare on their designs at certain points, feels very distracting). Overall, a good episode, like the main girl, she is cute and honestly, I love the fact that both MCs just are together because they share the same interest and it looks like she might help get Maehara out of his comfort zone. Also, the image above, when she said this, I died laughing. Never have I seen a slice of life anime say this before LMAO. Also, the small section with the text message was really cute as well. Asangi dressed up like Shark was really cute in that section.

  For me as a long-time follower of the manga, the shift in art style between manga to anime took a bit to get used to. I saw the MC and for a moment questioned if I opened up the correct anime. Not complaining but (this is just me) the manga art style often makes me forget the characters are in high school and not middle school. Idk everyone felt short and baby-faced to me with the manga. The manga art also felt more darker shaded so the jump to brighter colors in the anime did give me some whiplash.

Finally, a great adaptation of my favorite manga! It’s so good.
- ivangeek 20d
  Do they start dating in the manga? If so, will it be shown in the anime?
  orewajallal 20d
  They start dating around Chapters 32–33 in the manga. Not sure if the anime will reach that point though, so far it’s adapting pretty slowly, so they might need to skip some parts to get there.
  Novachan 20d
  Actually, it starts a little earlier. Umi confesses her feelings to Maki around chapter 17 in the manga, and in the meantime, certain "couple moments" happen, you could say... It only takes until chapter 32/33 for Maki to confess his feelings to her and they become an official couple. I hope they adapt that, but they'd have to leave out a lot to get to that point.
  orewajallal 19d
  yeah, fr
- werr 20d
  The original is actually the novel, both the manga and the anime are adapted from it.
Verkano 20d
I really like it. It’s easy to relate to, and it’s pretty realistic/normal. The main heroine is funny, and the main character is also likable.
Helliix 20d
An anime where every guys dream comes true.
Yeah, it would never happen irl but this anime is fun, I have big hopes for it.
shinyakamihara 20d
The ending is so fire
gobuysomesoup12 20d
ive been so hyped to watch this, looks pretty good so far. My only complaint is that I wish we got to see them become friends since we see their initial encounter and then they fast-forwarded to a home hangout, felt a little rushed/unexpected.
- arxbil 15d
  (manga/future episode spoilers)
  I think they are just trying to get to part where they become a couple before the 12th episode deadline

They had to make her hair only a little blue since she doesnt lose.

  LoL
BluePhoenixAlex 20d
What a sauceless anime
We're achieving levels of genericness previously thought impossible by scholars of the "wish fulfillment hetslop" genre

Anyways can't wait for the next episode
alicepurple 19d

and of course im going to continue watching anyway
Azuraug 19d
God i really love the manga art style but the LN style animated is winning me over, especially Umi's smile at the beginning.

I'm so happy to see another peak romcom animated and I can't wait for the diabetes im going to get from this
- Azuraug 19d
  The umi in this anime is so much more spunky than the manga version I read and that's saying something cause I REAAAAAAAALLY love Umi and Maki in the manga
Leywon 18d
Dammmmmmm this is good. Praying for a fantastic first season and they get together at the end like every other 10/10 romance..... and season 2 is just a dream (jks jks)
JoJon 18d
Most normal way a boy met a girl in a high school romance anime setting I've ever seen, especially in recency, and maybe that's what made this really good.
Splorpers 17d
Seems fine, pretty much a standard romcom setup episode, the animation/production side is very average as well so there's been nothing to really stand out yet. I like Asanagi and Maehara enough to keep watching, he's not annoying or anything with is a plus for these kinds of shows. If it continues in a good way I can see myself bumping it up to a 6 or so.
frce 15d
Good first episode!
ZeroMaru 14d
Top 10 things that never happen but seriously it is not bad. Will give it some more.
- toonshub 13d
  You didn't have to scream the truth like that :(

Peak is on AIR
mapleleaf 11d
at first i was like "yay, yet another pair of super cute girls better off with each other than kirito #7124" but i can definitely see it's probably a little more complicated and interesting... maybe?
Urobot 11d
Oh my god, I love when two gremlins get along.
nxneil13 10d
The first episode is really cute. I like the premise, I like the animation and color palette, its very easy on the eyes. I really like Umi's design esp with her two tone hair.
